A while ago , I had upgraded my pc from Win 98 to the Win 2000 platform .

Wanted to try out these new add-ons for my old air sim European Air War

Installed my old EAW game ,guess what , wasn't compatible , so i made a search on the net and found the compatibility set-up description for the Win2000 APCOMPAT.exe program .

It worked great , the steps included here on the previous post work exactly as stated in the # 2 statement .

At that time i had a

1.0 Gig T-brid CPU
640 megs ram
Asus A7VPro motherboard
Asus 7100 64 megs AGP MX-400 videocard
Creative 5.1 platinum souncard

I could play games all i wanted .

Now i purchased a new system .

3.0 Gig AMD Athlon
1024 ram
Asus A8N-E 64 bit MotherBoard
Nvidia 6200 256 megs videocard
Audigy 2 creative soundcard .

I installed Windows 2000 on it .
System is very stable , installed ( without any errors ) my old EAW game , patched it to 1.2 and installed my APCOMPAT.exe program , and it won't work , gives me the old = " The Application failed to initialyse properly( 0x0000005). click on OK to terminate application . "

So my present assumption , is that since this old win98 game worked under my previous win2000 platform , with the APCOMPAT.exe program , ( the other pentium 3 ) , i figure that it is likely that it's a Videocard driver issue .

Hopefully i'll find a solution through my ongoing research .
